ONCE MO2ETO TIE BREACH.

Mr. ED1rcE The late Foreman,
MIR. Cooper, in his notice Of reply to
my article, published some time ago.
in a very insulting manner gave no.
tice Of his reply; insinuating that my
delay had for its purpose the 'lepar-
ture Of the solicitor. He appears to
know how any one feels, situated thus.
The truth of the matter is simply tEis,
I reside in call OF the Court House
and promptly responded to every law
ful demand made upon me; and de-
ferred any action, until the Foreman
could be met as al individual-not as
an officer of the law.
The threatened annihilation official
ly and personally, came in the shape
of Podponene3H for C season. I would
pause here, long enough TO parentha
size Personalities, as a dangerous
plsything. Like the Boomerang Of
the Australian Bnshmen, it comes
back sometimes upon the che sending

have proper regard for the opin-
ions Of my fellow-citizens and would
say, that my arraignment Of the + ore
man has been based upon no captious
objection, but upon what I conceive
to be grievious wrong, in present
ing the case in such way as to admit,
yea, scarcely to avoid, miseoastruction.
The bitterness Of the rejoinder con-
frmed, what had been privately enter
tanned, that he was my enemy and as
such, would be remarkable person

aside his feelings and dispassionately
pass judgment upon my actions.

a conscious innocense that fears nc
consequences await the issue.

Secretary Daniel Manning is reported
to be critically il. His physician is
non-ccmmittal, and at Nsnning's
sons residence, where the ex-secreta-
~ is stopping, Manning is reported a
little better to-day"
Evening.-Mr Manning's family
are absolutely reticent about his con-
dition, and his physician refuses to
make any statement beyond saying
that he does not think there is imme-
diate danger Of his death. 1t is be-
sGeved that there was on Sunday re-
currence of the stroke which affected
him year ago, and that his family
was summoned to his bed side in ex-
pectation that death was imminent.

From beginning to end it is q clear ,X2os =

IF many of the traditions in South
Carolina we're written up for the pa
pers, how interesting they would be.
The other day I listened with much
interest to the account of negro out
law, who, about fifty years ago, made
his home, for while in the thick
swamps of the Wateree. The gentle
man WHO told me about him, was a
child at that time and lived not far
from the river swamp.
The outlaw was full-blocded ne
gro and his camp was on an Island
opposite Bloom Hill; this island IS
now known by the name OF Jack
Moore's island. He would sometimes
have runaway slaves under him and
he lived altogether by robbery; his
habit was to attack poll boats and
take anything from them he desired.
He was an object of terror to the ne.
eroes of that time and was man OF
such boldness that on one occasion be
went into field at Bloom Hill and
killed negro who had informed on
him. For at least two years be lived
in the swamp. His death occurred in
this way. He attacked poll boat, in
which some white men were secreted;
he was shot at and wounded; when
he became wounded to such an ex-
tent that he could 10 longer stand I'D
and shoot he laid down on his back
and in this position tried to shoot at
the white men.

The Anderson Journal thinks the
State issorely in need Of a section IN
the constitution to prohibit the legis-
lature from continually changing the
poll tax age. It says this has become
one of the most perplezirg and an
noying features Of legislation in these
days.

Labor and Drink.

The New York Nation, speaking
of the labor question and drinking
habits of workingmen, says:
Improvement in the laborer's
condition is impossible without
cutting down his drink bills. No
social arrangement which man can
make, can benefit people who get
drunk. No matter what wages
you pay a drinking man, neither
his condition nor that of his tamil
ly can be improved thereby. There
is no use in providing extra holt
days for men who use them to get
drunk. There is no use in cutting
down the days labor from ten to
eight hours, if the two hours gain.
ed are spent in rum hole. There
would be no use in making arbi-
tration compulsory, if one of the
parties was like to be kept from
obeying the decision by liquor.
There would be no use in handing
over all the property in the world
to laboring men, if they drink as
they do now. They would soon
dissipate it, and add nothing tc
the store"

Alarming Increase In Crime.

1t is the popular thing now
adays, when any reference is made
to the alarming increase of crime
in the United States, to pooh-pooh
it as a sensational yarn, and in this
connection to refer to the increase
of newspapers and newspaper cores
pondents as explanatory of the ap-
parent increase. The following Ia
BILE, taken from the Christian Ad-
vocate of New York, is conclusive
on this subject. It shows the in.
crease in our prison population at
different periods and its proportion
to the general population in the
pact thirty years;
Year. Prisoners. Ratio to Population
1850 .........6,737 One out OF 3,442
1880 l9,076 One out OF ,647
1870 SOL One cut of ,02l
1880 .........95 1858 One out of 1877
These figures would indicate that
four times as many crimes are com.
mitted now in proportion to popu.
lation as there were thirty years
ago.
The Advocate does not hold that
crime is going to increase in this
ratio forever, but it says that if the
causes are not checked the increase
must continue, and if the in
crease continues it will in time
take on organized forms in which
life and property will be 30
insecure as to necessitate, by
slow degree, but not the less
surely, radical change in the
structure of our government. OF
this we have had some hints in re-
cent movements.
There is loud call for a general
rally on the side of law and order

Dec. 5, 'S7.
ED. FREEMAN
Finch memorial services were
held in Buckhannon, on Sunday
the 4th inst, at which there were
several good addresses.
One speaker seemed to try to de-
tract from Mr.. Finch's standing as
a Prohibitionist. He said, "Al.
though at the time of his death he
was Chairman of the National Elk.
ecutive Committee of the Prohibi-
ton party, yet he fully appreciat-
ed and sympathized with the mon
partisan plan Of work"
Now, John B. Finch was no en-
thusiast in the "non-partisan"
plan. If he was, why did he so
strenuously oppose it by his in
valuable work for the Prohibition
party; which party by its very
name is opposed to so-called men
partisan" work?
He said that some of Mr.. Finch's
Prohibition followers would yet
have to learn of him to appreciate
the mon. partisan" work. Yes, l
think some of us.appreciate it fully
now. We had sample of it in
Ohio when the Amendment was
counted out; we had a sample of it
in Michigan when those inimical
frauds were carried on in broad
daylight. We had sample when
the Amendment was defeated in
Texas, in Tennessee and in Ore,
gon but we did not have a sam,
pie of non-partisan work when the
slaves were freed, and neither will
we have when the rum slaves are
freed. We don't want any more
of the Michigan and Oregon sort Of
"non-partisan" work, to defeat the
West Virginia Amendment, but
let US all work for it with will
and let US carry it.
Again, he tried to create the i'm
preston that Mr.. Finch'e
lectures were not in the
interests of the prohibition party
and referred thus to his last lecture
calling it a Temperance" lecture
thereby creating the impression
that it was not in interest of the
prohibition party.
Let me say to all this is false
impression. The LECTURE was in tn,
! interest of the Prohibition party
The last words that fell from tina
gifted tongue in public, were spok

( al election without countenancine
our party. We've no money, but
boys, if you want chance to fgh,
political battle with good con
science, our party can supply you
with it,"
That is the kind of 'non-partis
an enthusiast our loved John B.
Finch was, and that was the cause
to which he gave his life. Said
Fred F. Wheeler at the memorial
services in New York city; "Let
US take up the work begun and
carry it forward till the Star Span.
gled Banner shall wave over no le-
Called saloon"
And Col. R. s. Chevcs said "The
history OF reform cannot be written
without the name of Finch. 1t was
Mr.. Finch that laid the foundation
upon which this great superstruc'
ture is built"

value Of the Amsterdam Trade.

In an interview with Mr.. John D.
Spreckels, reported by the San Francisco
" Examiner" that gentleman said:
"Our invitation to the colonial states
men, now in England, to return home at
our expense is by no means simple act
of courtesy. There are big interests at
stake, and San Francisco ought to be
alive to them. The colonial trade is
worth 81, OO0, 900 or $12 100000 a year
to San Francisco, and we ought to take
care of it. The Oceanic Steamship
Company is benefit to both the Colo
malls and San Francisco, and l shall do
what can to impress it on the minds OF
the gentlemen now in England, whose
word has great weight in both places.
They have not accepted the invitation

Competition of the canadian Pacific.

Competition OF the Canadian Pacific.
Canadian competition has at last
brought the American overland lines
down to humble pie, if not to still more
humble dried apple-sauce and hoecake.
The meeting held in Chicago for read
iustment of the temporary rate-sheet
put in effect April 9th has been heard
from in way that will be most crafty
ing to Pacific Coast shippers. Tele-
grams reached the local agents early
yesterday morning containing the news
of sweeping reductions in the rates on
staple commodities east-bound as well
as class rates on west-bound shipments
that are materially lower than
those quoted in the last pub
lished tariff. These rates have
not yet been printed in tariff form,
and, in fact, the lists are not yet COM
plete. 1t is understood by the agents,
however, that they are to go into effect
Immediately, and wherever they can be
quoted they will apply to shipments
either east or west bound from this time
forth until further notice.
The first of the new rates to att ract
especial attention is that on wool. Ship
ments to New York and Boston from
any Pacific Coast terminal point can be
made hereafter at 81 so a hundred
pounds, regardless of valuation. On
sugar a new rate of 70 cents a hundred
is made to Missouri river points east
bound. Corn and oats from Missouri
river points to Pacific Coast points will
take special rate of so cents hundred
pounds. Canned goods to the Missouri
river, st. Louis and Chicago are rated at
70 cents a hundred, and to New York at
81 hundred, which is probably the
most marked reduction on the whole
sehedule.--[S. f. Chronicle, May 10th.
